We spend time with Specialized's latest lightweight, high-performance road bike that seemingly excels in all areas.
Climbs like a champion
Impossibly light
Stylish
Effortless to ride
The price
Looks better in rowdier colours
Limited wheel options
Lacks aero touches some might demand
May 2021 · James Spender
The Aethos is virtually the perfect bike, from its razor handling to incredible climbing. If only it had tubeless wheels and cost a bit less
Light and stiff
Incredible climber
Fantastic handling
Clincher-only wheels

It sells for $4,800, but it rides like a million bucks.

The battle to be basic and oh so good

What a bike. If you have the cash and don't care about aero, buy it
Incredible ride
Low weight
Excellent stiffness
Perfect handling
Gets most of the tech from the S-Works
No power meter
Expensive

Aero is everything, except where the Aethos is concerned
Exceptionally light frame, pin-sharp handling, 32mm tyre clearance, practical build for everyday riding
No tubeless compatibility, minimum £10k pricing
